Paradise Cove Gardens

About Us

Paradise Cove Gardens is the heart of the blue zone being created in Malibu.by Yoga instructor Flora Sanchez.

“Blue zones” was a phrase first coined by ?Dan Buettner, a National Geographic explorer, fellow, and journalist during an exploratory project in 2004. The project began in Okinawa and then set out to explore other regions in the world with high longevity. There are several power principles for blue zones derived from habits practiced by those residing and thriving in such regions whose life practices are fulfilled, authentic, and healthy.

One of those principles is to move naturally — walk, don’t drive, walk a dog, take steps instead of elevators, and just keep moving!

“In our blue zone, people will be able to plant and tend to a garden and studies show that when doing so, one raises her dopamine level naturally,” Sanchez said. “We’ll keep doing my yoga classes three times a week and perhaps practice Reiki or tai chi. Those who are interested can join a group that goes down to the beach and puts their feet in the water in harmony and synchronicity with the tides. We’ll also have walking clubs so that participants can encourage one another.”
